Canada adds 75,000 new jobs in July, unemployment rate lowest in 2 years (cbc.ca)

You can see on the bar chart that this is mostly rebound from Q1 contraction.

I was curious: professional/scientific/technical saw little to no growth; the areas that would be most affected by AI.

Labour force survey microdata files are public, for anyone who wants to poke in there for a more granular breakdown: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/catalogue/71M0001X

Obvious caveat being that Claude Code might give you a confident statistic without being able to validate if the question can be validated with the sample (StatsCan suppresses C grade data and below).

Not Canadian. Real question: is this the impact of having a normal human at the helm?

Those are mostly only $16/hr jobs whereas cost of living in Canada requires minimum $30/hr.

"75,000 new jobs" - they forgot to add that most of those no longer provide livable wage. With the way inflation is going they could soon hire everyone since the real value of the salary for average Shcmoes ever diminishes.

I am Canadian, just in case
